#pragma const_seg( [ [ { push | pop}, ] [ identifier, ] ] [ "segment-name" [, "segment-class" ] )
Specifies the segment where const variables are stored in the .obj file. OBJ files can be viewed with the dumpbin application. The default segment in the .obj file for const variables is .rdata. Some const variables, such as scalars, are automatically inlined into the code stream. Inlined code will not appear in .rdata.
data_seg with no parameters resets the segment to .rdata.
Using identifier enables multiple records to be popped with a single pop command.
// compile with /GX #include <iostream> const int i = 7; // inlined, not stored in .rdata const char sz1[]= "test1"; // stored in .rdata #pragma const_seg(".my_data1") const char sz2[]= "test2"; // stored in .my_data1 #pragma const_seg(push, stack1, ".my_data2") const char sz3[]= "test3"; // stored in .my_data2 #pragma const_seg(pop, stack1) // pop stack1 from stack const char sz4[]= "test4"; // stored in .my_data1 void main() { // const data must be referenced to be put in .obj std::cout << sz1 << std::endl; std::cout << sz2 << std::endl; std::cout << sz3 << std::endl; std::cout << sz4 << std::endl; }
See /SECTION for a list of names you should not use when creating a section.
You can also specify sections for initialized data (data_seg), uninitialized data (bss_seg), and functions (code_seg).
